As usual the racing weekend began on the Saturday with many members attending various parkruns around our region with the following achieving PB’s.
At Sedgefield, Rob Young ran in 21.08 and Jan McLuckie in 36.58. Ian Baronowski then achieved a course PB at Darlington Parkrun in 26.07. Julie Nisbet achieved her course PB at Shild Parkrun on 24.57. Finally at Chester le Street Parkrun, Carrieann Ingledew achieved a PB of 38.36 with Lisa Dowell achieving her PB of 38.35.
In addition on the Saturday one member, Andrew Lumley travelled to run 10l at the Cragside Estate in Northumberland. The race was set in the grounds and incorporated the hills and apparently this led to a good downhill finish. Andrew enjoyed the race and completed the same in 51.09.
On Sunday many members arrived in Hartlepool for the annual Marine 5 mile race.
This is a popular race for the club members and there was a great turnout from the club. The race starts near to the museum in the Marina and leads you on to the promenade all the way along to the dunes at Seaton Carew before turning you back for the finish which is close to the start area.
Fortunately the weather conditions were kind and were perfect for the race and the good weather meant there were plenty of spectators along the way. Results as follows: – John Surtees 28.12, Richard Campbell, 31.20, Tracey Surtees 32.52 (1st female 3 age 20-34), Richard Holland 33.01, Michelle Jane 33.37 (2nd female 20-34), Dave Blewitt (34.25, Alan Wilks 35.24 (2nd male 70-74), Trevor Needham 36.34, Austin Donoghue (37.52), Angela Sutheran 38.26, Trish Kay 39.04 (3rd female 55-59), Michael Brunskill 41.28, Mandy Heywood 41.35, Ian Baronowski 42.02, Heather Fenwick 42.19, Lindsey Brown 43.47, Denise Evans 45.45, Donna Campbell 47.45, Susan Clark 50.26, Eve Doe 52.52, Ray Todd 54.11 rd male 70-74),
